Rs 11000 salary for MBBS doctors, Rs 11000 salary for 8th pass ward boy: Hospital vacancy ad faces backlash

They are often forced to work overtime for hours along with night duties with many emergency surgeries and procedures per week having a low salary which has become a current trend. It becomes even more aggravating when a person has spent between 50 lacks to 1 crore on his medical education to get a lower salary package.
